FUNtastic Fall!!!
























Well we have been keeping busy since Matt got home from Airborne school. We have definitely been enjoying the beautiful fall weather, on the days that its cool!! We went to a fall festival a couple of weekends ago, here in Clarksville where Daisy got to pick out her own pumpkin, decorate it and she got to ride a pony! She really liked and sat very well. Then last weekend was the BN Fall festival for Matt's shop. We had it out at Cav Country. They had face painting, a chili cook off, tic-tac-toe, a hayride, infatables, swings, a pumpkin patch, and lots more! We had a lot of fun! Daisy got to get another pumpkin and this time she really did pick it out herself. Then we (or I) decorated it with poka dots! She also got her face painted with a pumpkin, but would sit still long enough for then to finish it so she just ended up with a orange dot. :) Then that Sunday, Nana and Papa stopped by and went to church with us. We ate lunch at Cracker Barrel and then hung out for the afternoon. It was really nice for them to visit. Yesterday we went to Dunlop Park and took Christmas pictures for our Christmas card. Those pictures you'll have to wait and see when you get it! :) Thanks to a friend we were able to keep it cheap and simple. She took great photos. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and watching football. Score for GA Bulldogs and Notre Dame, they both played great this weekend!! Hope ya'll have a wonderful week and Happy Halloween!!!!

Matt's home from Airborne school!!!

Matt finally got home Friday night from Airborne school. It was a long three weeks, but he made it through without breaking anything!! He graduated Friday morning. My parents went to the graduation because Daisy and I couldn't go. With gas prices and driving all that way by myself was a little too much. They got pictures of his graduation and here they are....











We've been busy working and going to school and taking care of Daisy. He finally got pinned this morning during formation. I got to do it and we are so very proud of him!! He has been very busy making his way up the ladder and deserves every bit of it. He'll soon be going to WLC, Warrior Leader Course, as part of becoming a noncommissioned officer. It's here at Campbell and last 14 days, so another 2 weeks without him. This weekend, we are going to try and relax some. Tomorrow afternoon I am going to a friends house to help out with her kids (her husband is deployed and she just had a little girl on Friday). I'm staying through the night, so Matt will be a single parent for a night. We'll see how that goes!!! :) Have a wonderful weekend!!!
